Lu Xin, Gehu, his mother and sister came to the busy street in the middle of the town.
At first glance, it seemed that this place was more lively than the lifeless streets of Satellite City. There were stalls on both sides, with all kinds of goods, including unknown meat, various living things in cages or tied with ropes, and even a few stalls filled with guns. The stall owner was wrapped in a circle of bullets and held a gun in his arms to promote it.
"Our guns are good, our guns are wonderful,"
"Our guns don't jam, and are most suitable for robbery..."
"..."
On both sides of the muddy road, there were many stalls with huge tents, and exaggerated posters stood next to them.
There were hosts holding microphones and wearing strange clothes dancing exaggerated and weird dances to dynamic music.
Next to him, there was a cage with a small, thin humanoid creature inside. It was covered with black feathers and huddled in a corner of the cage, motionless. It trembled only when someone kicked the cage.
The host, while dancing, grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly: "Come and see, the ticket is ten yuan a piece. There are children in a jar, hairy chickens, alien species after the catastrophe, human-headed snake women... all kinds of monsters are available. You can't lose or be fooled with ten yuan, but you can open your eyes with just ten yuan..."
"..."
People walking on the road were all of different descriptions. Most of their clothes looked very worn, but sturdy. Now in the town outside the city, the temperature is already quite cold, but there are still many people who deliberately open their arms to reveal the guns on their waists.
There are some doors with neon lights around them, and there are many women with heavy makeup smoking there.
The small eyes under the dark circles are constantly examining the people passing by on the street.
Whenever they meet people's eyes, they shout in a hoarse voice: "Try it? Good service!"
There are also some thin-looking men who lean on the pillars and shout to people they see: "Try it? Send a fruit plate!"
Lu Xin felt a little uncomfortable when they looked at him, and asked Bihu: "What do you do?"
Bihu only glanced at him, shook his head with grief, and said: "I'm doing a normal business, selling newspapers..."
"..."
"Is this the world outside the city?"
Lu Xin knew that Bihu was talking nonsense, it's not like he had never seen such a business before, and there are also such businesses in satellite cities.
The reason why he asked was that he didn't expect that there were men doing this business in Heishui Town.
Walking quietly on the street, looking at the bustle around him, he sighed in his heart.
This is a world completely different from the city. There are similar streets in the city, but there are more people selling vegetables and small gadgets, and the people soliciting customers on the roadside are not too arrogant. Overall, the city seems a bit depressing, while here, it is very lively.
The world after the red moon has always been like this. Order and chaos are like two parallel lines, moving forward at the same time inside and outside the wall.
The world outside the city is of course very dangerous and cruel, but it gives people a feeling of madness that is close to unrestrained.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this feeling that some people are attracted.
So even if the material life inside the high wall is already good, there are still many people willing to stay outside.
...
...
"Brother, where is the person we are looking for?"
At this time, the gecko has put on his huge sunglasses.
It was night, even if the street lights were bright, it would be hard to see clearly with sunglasses on. I wonder what he was thinking.
After listening to his words, Lu Xin also looked up.
After finally arriving at such a lively place, his sister had already run away.
Mom's figure was not beside him, but when Lu Xin looked up, he could always see her shadow.
Or she stood in front of a small stall, as if admiring those piles of small jewelry.
Or she stood in a cold corner, pointing to a certain location.
Lu Xin followed his mother's guidance, walked through the crowded crowd little by little, and walked forward slowly.
"What should we do after discovering those people?"
As they got closer, Lu Xin asked the gecko.
The gecko frowned, looked up and looked around, and was a little nervous.
He also knew that the purpose of his coming out with Lu Xin this time was to track down a knight group.
The other side should have heavy firepower, and there are three people with special abilities.
"In theory, we should notify the boss of this town first. I heard that he is a guy called Snake Lord, who has a large armed force under his command. He has a lot of business dealings with our Qinggang, and he is also a vassal. In theory, he will cooperate with us."
Gecko frowned and analyzed in a low voice: "But, after all, this place is not close to our Qinggang City. And these bastards are all greedy for money. I am not sure whether those people with special abilities hiding here have already colluded with them. If we reveal our identities first, it may alert the snakes and create opportunities for those people."
"Normally, it should be easier to deal with those people in this town than outside."
"After all, once you enter the town, you only have a pistol on you..."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded and said, "Then find them first."
He also understood Gekko's analysis. Forces like Heishui Town had done many things in secret to high-walled cities like Qinggang. If they were to cover up, they might do something in secret. However, if they found those people in advance and informed Heishui Town, they would be honest again, because if they did something else at that time, it would be a clear sign that they wanted to make trouble with Qinggang.
While talking, they had already crossed a busy street and came to a house converted from two rows of three-story buildings. Lu Xin saw that his mother had appeared at the door of a chess and card room at this time, and was smiling and turning her head to look at him.
He had an idea in his mind, so he said to Gekko: "Let's go in and take a look!"
"Do you want to gamble, or?"
When Gekko saw the chess and card room, his face was slightly startled and he hurriedly followed.
"What are you doing here?"
When Lu Xin and Gekko walked to the chess and card room, two tall people with fat faces stood up.
Lu Xin walked straight in, and the gecko raised his head and cursed: "You are already here, what the hell are you doing?"
He took out a handful of banknotes, showed them, and stuffed them back.
Seeing him like this, the two strong men didn't say anything, shook their heads, and sat back down.
Lu Xin walked directly into the hall of the chess and card room, and suddenly a strong smell hit him in the face.
It was a super heavyweight smell bomb mixed with smoke, alcohol, body odor, sweat and other complex smells. Walking towards him was a young girl wearing a bikini with white rabbit ears on her head, holding various cigarettes and drinks in her arms.
Noisy voices filled the eardrums, some shouted "big", some shouted "small", and some shouted "I said big", "I said small", "fuck you", "fuck you", "Ah!" "Ah, ah", "You dare to spit salty" "Bang!" "Bang bang bang bang".
…
…
He came to this favorite place, but the gecko's face was no longer smiling.
No matter how frivolous he was, he knew what he was doing this time.
They were not just tracking the Knights, but also three people with abilities, especially now that they were not in Qinggang City, and they had the Special Pollution Cleanup Department behind them to support them. Although Qinggang City had a great influence in the surrounding area, there were also many cases of people from various industries who came out of Qinggang for business suddenly disappearing or their bodies being found in the wilderness.
If you are not careful, it may be yourself.
With a tense expression, he glanced at Lu Xin and whispered, "Is it here?"
Lu Xin nodded, his eyes passed through the chaotic crowd and looked at a closed room inside.
Gecko reached out and pressed the gun on his waist, with a cautious look on his face: "What plan?"
Lu Xin's eyes slightly tilted, and he subconsciously thought about what Gecko said.
Now my sister is right next to me, squatting on the card table next to me, watching people play cards attentively, and she seems to want to join in, while my mother is standing next to the innermost room, holding a delicate little bag in her hand, smiling at me gently.
Inside this door may be the Knights who killed so many people in Qinggang...
Then he shook his head and said, "No need to make a plan."
As he said that, he walked straight to the door of the room and kicked it.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, making a huge noise.
The people who were sitting around a long table playing cards immediately cast their eyes over.
Lu Xin quietly scanned the people in the room and saw a total of seven people, five of whom were sitting at the table playing cards, and two girls wearing bunny ears were serving. He did not find anyone who looked like Qin Ran in the circle of people, but his eyes stopped on a man in a red suit sitting by the window across the table. Slowly he determined something.
The man was holding three cards at this time, raising them high, as if he was about to throw them down.
When he saw Lu Xin coming in, his expression froze slightly.
...
...
Lu Xin looked at him, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and said, "Finish this card first, I'm not in a hurry."
